Reserved seats for Bernina Express

Using Eurail to book Bernina Express (train PE 952) reserved seats apparently costs $15 (USD). But booking reserves seats on the same train thru the Rhätische Bahn website www.rhb.ch costs CHF 26 ($28.87 USD). Is this correct??Will Rhätische Bahn (Bernina Express) honor the Eurail-booked seat reservation?

Prague to Basel or Bern

My son and his best friend (22 and 23) are trying to get from Prague to Basel or Bern on Nov 24, 25, or 26 and eventually to Thun. They have eurail passes. The overnight train looked possible, but when you search Prague to Bern, there’s an issue with the last leg. When I search Prague to Basel, I don’t see the first leg of the prior trip and can’t book it. When I pick other stops, there’s only a paper ticket option, and they’re currently in Lisbon and bouncing around so mailing is not an option. Can they go in person to any train station and pick up a paper ticket? I’ve searched other trains and there’s one that’s insane—$1300 per ticket. The flight is $500 plus, and I was looking for that over night sleeper experience.

from Marne-la-Vallée – Chessy to Aéroport Charles de Gaulle, reservation mandatory?

Dear Community members, We have one travel day left in Eurail pass and last day of our trip - 14th of November - we are planning we spend in Disneyland. I am looking on the option to spend our last travel day for travelling from Marne la Valle to Airport Charles de Gaulle but seat reservation is quite expensive, it is showing to me around 80euros for 4 of us. Our flight is scheduled for 11AM. Is seat reservation is really required if the travel time is only 10 minutes? Can we enter the train with Eurail ticket without seat reservation?

Booking reservation Stuttgart to Paris 10:52 December 27

I want to book two reservations on the 10:52 train from Stuttgart to Paris on Wednesday December 27 but the response on the Interrail Reservations site is always the same - "Bad RequestYour browser sent a request that this server could not understand.Size of a request header field exceeds server limit." Please can you help - how can I make this reservation? We both have Interrail passes. I have tried via the DB site - but they will only book trains within Germany not into France. The Belgium site will only do Eurostar trains. The French SNCF site doesn’t accept Interrail passes.

Checking my understanding of Eurail Spain pass

Total noobie question: I have mapped out our trip in Spain. We will have four travel days in the month. When I price each leg, a first class ticket is about $16USD, so $32USD for my husband and I. Four trips would cost $128USD. A four day Eurail pass for seniors costs more than $700USD. What am I missing? Are there benefits to the Eurail pass that I am not taking into consideration? Or are Eurail passes not cost effective for short intercity trips (Barcelona → Valencia, Valencia→Madrid, Madrid →Cordoba, Cordoba-→Granada)Thanks for any insight!

Map on the Eurail site

The map on the Eurail site shows no connection between Madrid and Cordoba. When I use the Plan your Journey section of the Eurail site, Cordoba is not selectable as a destination. But I am able to get a price for Madrid → Cordoba on the Eurail site. Can someone help me explain how this works? Thanks,Kathryn

Why so many trips have legs with no seats available? Looking at early Jan 2024 for Regensburg to Nimes

Every combination from Regensburg to Nimes has at least one leg that is not reservable. Most common is Brussels to Nimes or Lyon to Nimes...also Stuttgart to Strasbourg. I have checked out into February and find the same result. Hard to imagine every train is full completely.

Timetable details changed after booking reservation.

Hello. I am a first-time traveler in Europe. I booked reservations ahead of time. However, when I looked at the timetable for my first trip tomorrow, I noticed that there is a ride with the same schedule and seat reservation requirements. But the train names are different. Will this be a problem when I present my printed ticket?

Rail planner app reliability

Hey! I’m looking into buying the Global Pass for travel from the UK to and around Switzerland. I downloaded the Rail Planner app from the Apple App Store where I know passes are stored.But I’m hesitant to buy one because the reviews of the app are almost all negative, with people complaining about it not working properly, not being able to show their pass on trains, having to put in their journeys over & over etc.The most recent review does say the app has been updated to a good standard, but I can’t just ignore all the bad ones.So for those of you that have used it, is it reliable enough to use? Or should I perhaps be looking at the (more expensive) Swiss Travel Pass? The last thing I want is to be unable to show I’ve paid for my trips and have to pay again!

Puertollano to Badajoz seat reservations

Hello!I need to get a seat reservation for the Puertollano to Badajoz train, but when I called the infoline, the person there told me it’s not possible to book two trains with the change, but I also booked two separate trains right afterwards so why was that not the option?I got the reservations for the rest of my trains in Spain, but not this one. They suggested I just go to the station upon arrival to Puertollano and ask for it there.Does anyone know why this is the case? Should I call them again and ask for just a reservation for that one train? To my knowledge regional trains in Spain do not even require a mandatory reservation, so that only adds to the confusion...

How far in advance to plan non-reservation trains for Eurail?

I have never used the Eurail before. I already have my reservations for the required trains in advance. But for normal trains, I’m not sure what train I want in advance, can I just show up at the train terminal and add the train to my pass that morning, or do they get overbooked and I’ll find myself unable to board unless I schedule them days out? This is regarding non-reservation trains.
